Tombstones amongst the trees
17th Ave in Greenwood Cemetery.
Old Catholic tombstones are amongst
the brush and trees to the west of this
little road.


	




Additional Comments:
Greenwood Cemetery is located on the corner of County Rd U and Greenwood Road 
just north of Tomahawk, WI. Latitude: 45.5075 Longitude: -89.725.

Greenwood Cemetery is a beautiful cemetery sectioned off by street signs. 17th 
Avenue runs north and south at the back of the cemetery. It borders the 
cemetery and separates the neatly manicured cemetery from a small area of 
trees, brush and overgrowth at the far west end.

Hidden away in this little section of trees and overgrowth are several old 
tombstones that few today ever knew existed or barely remember. The tombstones 
are what remain of an old Catholic section of Greenwood Cemetery. In 1963, the 
church moved most of the graves to its new cemetery located on County S (name 
of church and cemetery is unknown at this time). Some families didn’t want 
their loved ones moved and some could not afford to have them moved and so 
they were left behind.

Occasionally local organizations have lent volunteer time and energy to clear 
away fallen limbs and new tree growth that slowly chock off the old fading 
tombstones.
